Another way to this is that if you are an expert in your job and a skillful person, you can do all without getting scared. Rather, you get your employer scared when they see you are making moves and they buckle up in other not to lose you.

So whether you browse with office laptops, comment on social media, show up in suits at your office it doesnt have anything on some people.

IT gurus and Expert auditors can probably testitfy to this.

In a company where you are an employee you have some right to some contents which they allow you to use. Your browsing can also be restricted only to the company's needed sites. Some will restrict access to yahoo and facebook and others while they will allow access to google alone.

Yeah, this is if the company's IT centre has these websites in their red zone. Anyway, if you browse with your modem, this restriction is useless.

Another one!

Don't comment on Nairaland or visit nairaland vacancy page!

It can get you fired! I'm in a similar situation myself
I am more interested in your story, how did it happened? One must be very careful with this popular site, most especially those of us that have our picture uploaded, with familiar username.

never you provide the name of your supervisor and contact as your referee. Employers usually request it to confirm the authenticity of current job.

Nice one insidifyguru, but am guilty of No. 2 though.

Thank you. Please be careful, just like @uboma said,your browser history can be called up and it might not go down well with your present employer to find that you've been searching for jobs on company time.

Mustay:
I don't concur with point 2.

Unless you do not lock your PC when not in use or it is not a laptop (i.e. it is a desktop that remains at the office) or you do not browse in 'privacy', I see no reason why an employee should have access (even by peeping) to your PC.

Moreover, you can have folders where you keep such stuffs that are 'confidential' to you or delete the browsing history and cache if you do not want the address to pop out when sharing stuff with your colleague(s).

Mustay, from your comments so far it is very evident that you are not the average Nigerian and that you are smart. But you need to make room for those who do not even know what a Cache or browser history is not to talk of knowing how to clear it.

It is just easier and way better if you do not do your job search at work. #Insidify

You are very correct. But you still need to be careful though because:

1. You don't want to burn bridges when you eventually move to the new job and

2. Also because, when all is said and done, no one is indispensable. #Insidify

Thanks, you know when you can see handwriting on the wall, it's good to be proactive.In a place where nepotism, favouritism,godfatherism,(in-short the Nigerian thing) is always displaced and you know your value and your worth, you need to be able to move fast and without prompting them at all
